- 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour plus additional for kneading and rolling

- Set smooth rollers of a pasta machine at widest setting.
- Flatten 1 piece of dough into a rectangle and feed through rollers.
- Fold in half and feed through rollers 8 or 9 more times to continue kneading, folding in half each time and dusting with flour as necessary to prevent sticking.

- Roll out remaining dough in same manner.
- Attach ribbon-pasta cutters to pasta machine and attach handle to 1/8-inch-wide cutter.
